  • Those “crazies” are generally politicians who are trying to use the fear of “CRT” to create laws banning the topic from being discussed at schools.

    Ah but now you’ve changed what we’re discussing. “Banning being discussed at schools” is not what anyone is doing. It’s being banned from being taught at schools. And both of those things are not remotely the same as “banning CRT”. Banning schools from using their position of authority over children to indoctrinate them on garbage philosophy is a reasonable position. Banning books from general consumption is not and I’m not aware of anyone doing that.

    And, yes, scope creep is certainly a dangerous issue when it comes to the government. So I take this to mean you’re for smaller government? :)


  • I actually tried vegan. I lasted less than 2 weeks. I believe you that a plant based diet can be complete but the issue is you need to invest a lot of time and plan out literally every meal. And you need to do it from day one or you will take damage (e.g. calcium loss). A normal diet with meat, by contrast, you will end up getting enough of what you need almost by accident. No planning needed, no fear of a catastrophic mistake.

    If people really want vegan to take off then STFU about morals and all that and make some sort of easy-mode meals. I mean like “monday breakfast, monday snack, monday lunch, etc.” so people too lazy or who don’t have the time literally can’t screw it up.



  • Ok, so lots of animals come in at around 1 billion heart beats. But humans are at least 2 to 3 times that and several other animals even more. So it’s not a lie out of whole cloth but it’s misleading. And what you mention is a key point: if you’re in good shape you’ll have a lower resting heart rate, which would be even at worst. And that’s just counting heart beats, but being fit adds loads of advantages in all aspects of your health.





  • What you’re describing is specific to just a few places, mostly the USA. If you go to the middle east and start dancing around in speedos as a white male you’re not going to feel very privileged.

    Agree with a lot of what you said at the end. For me, the issue is that talking about race is useless. There’s nothing CRT can predict that “financial class theory” won’t predict better. And, unlike CRT, it works everywhere on earth.
